| Kurzbeschreibung | Nutrigenomics - toward personalized nutrition? Breakthroughs in biology recently led nutrition scientists to apply modern tools (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, genetics, epigenetics) to the analysis of the interactions of food with humans. The lecture presents these tools and illustrates their application in selected topics relevant to human nutrition and food sciences. |
| Lernziel | - Overall understanding of the transdisciplinary research being conducted under the term nutrigenomics. - Overall understating of the omics technologies used in nutrigenomics and their applications to human nutrition and food science. - Ability to critically evaluate the potential and risks associated with the field of nutrigenomics |
| Inhalt | - For the content of the script see section "Skript" below - The lecture is completed by presentations of the students (in group) of material related to the lecture. |
| Skript | The script is composed of circa 400 slides (ca 15 slides/lecture) organized in 8 modules Module A From biochemical nutrition research to nutrigenomics Module B Nutrigenetics Module C Nutri-epigenomics Module D Transcriptomics in nutrition research Module E Proteomics in nutrition research Module F Metabolomics in nutrition research Module G Nutritional systems biology Module H Personalized nutrition - opportunities and challenges |
| Literatur | No extra reading requested. Most slides in the lecture are referenced with web adresses. |
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Basic training in biochemistry, molecular biology, physiology, and human nutrition. Interest in interdisciplinary sciences linking molecular biology to human health. Interest in the application of analytical laboratory methods to the understanding of human biology, in particular nutrition. |
